Chapter 80: It's hard to be a good person
You know, this donation also has a doorway to donate, not that you have to donate more money, but also depends on your own identity and status, and how much others donate.
The harem is respected by the noble concubine, she takes the most, and then everyone can't cross her, so Concubine Rong and Concubine Yi are both eight hundred taels, and Yin Lingyuan naturally can't get more than these people.
Concubine Rong didn't understand this truth, and she just deliberately found fault when she said it.
"Concubine Niangniang, the concubine thinks that donating more and donating less is a heart, so you don't have to be too demanding." Concubine He spoke for Yin Lingyuan.
Concubine Rong glanced at her and continued: "The noble concubine asked us to donate, isn't it just to help the victims, naturally the more the better, since Yu Jieyu has the ability, why should she take care of it too much." ”
The concubine glanced at Yin Lingyuan: "What Concubine Rong said is also reasonable, you don't have to worry too much, you have to contribute more to the victims." ”
Since the concubine said so, Yin Lingyuan had no choice but to say: "That concubine is also the same as Niangniang, add another five hundred taels to make one thousand taels of silver." ”
The concubine nodded, but Concubine Rong was still dissatisfied: "One thousand taels, it sounds like a lot, but compared with Yu Jieyu's family assets, I'm afraid it's a drop in the middle." ”
Yin Lingyuan was angry, even if he had more money, how much he donated was voluntary, and Concubine Rong didn't have to point fingers here: "So according to Concubine Rong's mother, how much is it appropriate for the concubine to donate?" ”
"A while ago, in order to pick women out of the palace, Yu Jieyu made a move for eight thousand taels of silver, and now that the country is in trouble, how can it not be less than this amount." Concubine Rong touched her lips on her lips, and she was going to ask her to take out eight thousand taels of silver?
Yin Lingyuan hates others to kidnap her with righteousness the most, doesn't Concubine Rong like to turn over old accounts? Let's do the math.
"The concubine remembered that during the Double Ninth Festival, the mother gave the queen mother a whole piece of Guanyin carved from Hetian jade, I don't know how much it cost?"
"This palace is filial piety", Concubine Rong grabbed Bai Dao, "How can you generalize?" ”
"The concubine knows that the mother is filial, but seeing that the mother is so generous, presumably the family resources are not inferior to the concubines, it is better to ask Concubine Rong to set an example, and take out how much silver first, and the concubines will naturally follow."
Several people were talking, Qi Ye is here, he hasn't been to the harem for a long time, and he should have just come over early today.
"I just heard you talking about silver, why does Concubine Rong want to donate silver for disaster relief?" Qi Ye asked when he came in.
The concubine submitted a list of donations that had only been registered for half of the time: "Your Majesty, please see, the concubine thought that the previous dynasty needed money for disaster relief, so she proposed that the harem sisters donate some and do their best." ”
Qi Ye took it and looked at it for a while, then stroked the back of the concubine's hand: "The concubine is very worried. He held up the list and looked at the crowd: "You have a heart, and the little woman also knows that it is really rare to share my worries and think about the people." It's more useful than my ministers, who talk about their country and the world all day long, and it's really hard to get them to get some money out than to ascend to the sky. ”
"The concubines don't understand any big truths, but they are just a little careful, how can they compare to the ministers who give advice to the emperor and coordinate the overall situation." The concubine said modestly.
"At this time, no kind of plan can compare to this", Qi Ye said, and slapped the donation list twice.
Listening to the meaning of his words, it should be that the previous dynasty did not raise the disaster relief money smoothly, so he was worried.
"What the emperor said is very true", Concubine Rong said with a smile, "I just told Sister Yu that she is so rich, she should donate more." ”
Yin Lingyuan was about to speak, but Qi Ye spoke first, looking at Yin Lingyuan full of approval: "You don't know yet, Yu'er's brother set up a porridge shed outside the city, giving porridge every day to help the people, from the first month to now, many people have relied on your brother's porridge to support, it is really immeasurable." ”
"My brother returned to Beijing from Zhili all the way to Beijing in the next year, and when he witnessed the tragic situation along the way, he was touched and wanted to do his part, and he didn't dare to take credit." Yin Lingyuan said modestly.
"Who has merit, I know in my heart", Qi Ye said, "I heard them say that your brother is in the name of the Cyclamen Building, and there must be your share here." ”
Yin Lingyu's smile was regarded as a tacit acquiescence, and Qi Yefu said to everyone again: "Yu Jieyu's righteousness is for the people, and she can be a model for the harem." ”
Everyone saluted one after another, saying that they must learn from Yu Jieyu, Concubine Rong's face turned blue and white for a while, and she didn't dare to say anything about donating more or less.
Although the emperor appreciates the behavior of the Yin family's brothers and sisters very much, maintaining a porridge Peng that supplies so many people for so long, Yin Anlu is already the limit, and it is impossible for him to blindly fill his own family into it.
Just when he was about to lose his support and prepare to withdraw, the emperor summoned him, praised Yin Anlu's behavior of giving porridge, and took out a sum of silver from his private treasury and asked him to continue.
"But the emperor's silver has also run out, and now it is becoming more and more difficult to buy rice, and the silver given by the emperor, I don't think it will be used until the day when the court will settle the victims properly, and we will have to make up for this deficit ourselves in the future." After the emperor summoned Yin Anlu, he specially allowed her to see Yin Lingyu.
The two spoke through the screen, and Yin Anlu talked about the current situation.
Yin Lingyuan secretly scolded Qi Ye as an old fox, he first praised himself, and then summoned Yin Anlu, just to ask them to continue to run this porridge shed.
Even subsidizing the silver from the private treasury, Yin Lingyuan did not doubt that Qi Ye would not owe the Yin family a reward for meritorious deeds after the disaster relief, nor did he doubt Qi Ye's sincerity in relieving the people, but in any case, the maintenance of the porridge shed was filled with real money, and it was all earned by their brothers and sisters themselves.
"It's hard to be a good person", Yin Anlu sighed, "In this situation, my father won't let me withdraw from the porridge shed." ”
"Feelings are not their money", Yin Lingyuan pouted, "but the benefits are shared by the Yin family afterwards." ”
Yin Anlu shook his head helplessly, the holy order is unbearable, what can he do now? can only endure the pain of cutting meat: "That's it, saving people's lives is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, so we should accumulate virtue." ”
Yin Lingyuan smiled instead: "When did the second brother believe in Buddhism?" Is this unacceptable? ”
"Sister, doesn't Mo have an idea again?" , Yin Anlu's eyes suddenly lit up, he knew Yin Lingkite, and he always had a lot of ghost ideas.
"Second brother, you said, there are so many dignitaries and dignitaries in the imperial capital, and the emperor wants to collect wool, so he can't just pick up the two of us." Yin Lingyuan said.
"That being said, but ......"
"How long can the silver given by the emperor last?" Yin Lingyuan asked.
"Ten days at most." Yin Anlu had already calculated it in his mind.
"The second brother will go back first, and the porridge shed will continue to open, so you don't have to worry about the silver later."
When Yin Anlu heard her say this, he suddenly had a spirit: "My sister really has an idea?" ”
Yin Lingyuan smiled: "Second brother just go back and wait for news, and within two days, this matter will take a turn." ”
